## Dependencies



Although installers are much easier to use, if you must build from 

source, here are some tips: 



OpenShot is programmed in Python (version 3+), and thus does not need

to be compiled to run. However, be sure you have the following 

dependencies in order to run OpenShot successfully: 



*  Python 3.0+ (http://www.python.org)

*  PyQt5 (http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/download5)

*  libopenshot: OpenShot Library (https://github.com/OpenShot/libopenshot)

*  libopenshot-audio: OpenShot Audio Library (https://github.com/OpenShot/libopenshot-audio)

*  FFmpeg or Libav (http://www.ffmpeg.org/ or http://libav.org/)

*  GCC build tools (or MinGW on Windows)



## Launch



To run OpenShot from the command line with an installed `libopenshot`,

use the following syntax:

(be sure the change the path to match the install or repo location 

of openshot-qt)



```sh

cd [openshot-qt folder]

python3 src/launch.py

```

    

To run with a version of `libopenshot` built from source but not installed,

set `PYTHONPATH` to the location of the compiled Python bindings. e.g.:



```sh

cd [libopenshot folder]

cmake -B build -S . [options]

cmake --build build

    

cd [openshot-qt folder]

PYTHONPATH=[libopenshot folder]/build/bindings/python \

python3 src/launch.py

```
